Why don’t you call them ( Cross Country Driver ) and ask them ?
No need to call, you can get a price quote on line.
These are folks who will charge you. At 60mph that’s 40 hours for the distance someone herein suggested. What is that driver going to ask for hourly pay + meals etc.? A service member may just be looking for a “ride” and not necessarily want to be paid just to get home maybe and no cost.
A round trip airline ticket from San Diego to Atlanta can be found for $162, without a military discount. I wouldn’t trust my car to a stranger in a uniform who is desperate for transportation.
First of all it really is difficult to average 60mph . Second , who pays for motel or transportation for the hired driver if the vehicle breaks down someplace ? Too many things that could cost a person more that they planned.
my thoughts (not worth much) Sell it for 5k. add the money you will save from shipping cost to the 5k and buy a vehicle near you. and you will probably have less aggravation too.
Ship the car!
You have to rent a car in GA to find that gem of a Honda Civic for $7K specially in today’s used car market. The rental car itself might cost you $500+. Factor in another 1500 to fix the basic stuff on the Civic and you are way over your budget.
